Everyone’s favourite author, dreamweaver, visionary, plus actor, Garth Marenghi, returns with a brand new horror novel, TerrorTome. Although a brand new Darkplace TV series would be preferable, its frankly never going to happen, so we’ll have to thank his satanic majesty and enjoy the fictional author’s unforgettable Shaun Hutson 1980’s inspired horror satire instead. You’ll die laughing.
Here’s an excerpt from the book’s press release:
“When horror writer Nick Steen gets sucked into a cursed typewriter by the terrifying Type-Face, Dark Lord of the Prolix, the hellish visions inside his head are unleashed for real. Forced to fight his escaping imagination - now leaking out of his own brain - Nick must defend the town of Stalkford from his own fictional horrors, including avascular-necrosis-obsessed serial killer Nelson Strain and Nick’s dreaded throppleganger, the Dark Third. Can he and Roz, his frequently incorrect female editor, hunt down these incarnate denizens of Nick’s rampaging imaginata before they destroy Stalkford, outer Stalkford and possibly slightly further?
From the twisted genius of horror master Garth Marenghi – Frighternerman, Darkscribe, Doomsage (plus Man-Shee) – come three dark tales from his long-lost multi-volume epic: TerrorTome. Can a brain leak? (Yes, it can).”
Terrortome, the novel, is released on 10/11/2022.
Watch the horror master in action in the Darkplace TV Series as he effortlessly weaves between life, death and writing - almost as if he’s alive, could die at any moment, and can actually write, sort off…
